The great X Rebirth video competition

12. March 2015.

Today, Egosoft announced the great X Rebirth video competition. The aim of this competition is to find out who can make the best video of X Rebirth following the main theme of showing how your influence the X-Universe! Whether you want to tell a story, show a big battle between capital ships or illustrate the competition between the different factions and corporations is totally up to you. A jury, consisting of the X Rebirth developers, will evaluate the videos and choose the best ones.

Of course, this competition is not only about finding out who's the best, but also about winning great prizes! The grand prize will be the immortalization of the winner's name* in X Rebirth. It is still to be decided exactly how this will be done, but it may be within the texture of an asset or within the description or name of an in-game object, for example. We're of course happy to get some input about this from the winner too. In addition, the winner will also receive an X Rebirth poster signed by the Egosoft staff and will be able to choose one of the other prizes.

Among the other prizes are:

Steam keys for Kerbal Space Program

Steam keys for Faster Than Light

Steam keys for J.U.L.I.A. among the stars

Steam keys for Endless Space

Star Trek - Voyager 1: Heimkehr (book, German)

Star Trek - Typhon Pact 1: Nullsummenspiel (book, German)
